Akufo-Addo’s Driver Files to Contest La Dade-Kotopon Primary Nuclear Power Plant

Joseph Addo, who has been President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s personal driver for over two decades, has officially entered the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries race in La Dede-kotopon constituency in the region Greater Accra. a citinewsroom.com report.

Addo’s candidacy comes after the resignation of previously elected parliamentary candidate, Dr. Gerald Joseph Tetteh, who cited personal reasons for his decision.

Addo has pledged to reclaim the nuclear power plant seat, emphasizing his roots within the community.

“I was born and raised here in La, I’ve lived here all my life, so I’m not new to this constituency.

“I have helped the youth in this area find jobs and employment in government agencies.

“Recently, when the party needed an office space after the destruction of the old office, I personally worked to get a new office for the party,” he is reported to have said.

Meanwhile, the Greater Accra Electoral Commission vetted and approved Addo’s appointment, along with that of Solomon Kotey Niikio, the municipal director for the area, who also threw his hat into the ring.

The primaries, scheduled for April 27, 2024, are likely to be a moment for the NPP in their bid to regain the La Dedekotopon seat, which was lost by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2020 elections.

The seat is currently occupied by NDC MP Rita Naa Odoley Sowah.
